I wrote the 1st Dec 2018 BC IELTS exam. I got
Listening 9
Reading 9
Writing 6.5
Speaking 7.5
I plan to submit my EOR on Monday 17th. Abit Skeptical now cos i read that if the difference in scores is greater than 2 there is usually an automatic re evaluation. Do you think i should give the re evaluation a try?
I would suggest you to go for it. You have very good scores in other modules. I would highly doubt that you prepared well in all three modules except Writing module.
I have the same score, I have applied for EOR. In my previous attempt, I scored 8.5 in writing (I knew that I messed up in reading and scored 6.5); therefore I could not believe that I scored 6.5 in this attempt, when I have 8.5 in both listening and reading and 7.5 in speaking. Though, I was not hoping for 8.5 but I hoped for at least 7.0.
In my opinion, if money is not a huge issue for you and if you have scored 7.0+ in your previous attempts (if any) OR if you have any teacher who evaluated your IELTS writing and gave you 7.0+, I would recommend you that you should go for it. As rafal mentioned in one of the above posts, almost everyone is getting 0.5 increase these days.
Also, if you think that you wrote essay and letter (especially essay) in the IELTS format, with relevant examples, over word counts and correct conclusion. You should go for it.
Also, I have gone through almost every page of this forum and realized that out of 10 people, 6-7 people got their band increased.
Still waiting... will keep you guys posted

Revalutation result recieved on 15th dec
Earlier score LRWS 8 7 6.5 8
Revised score 8 7 7 8
My take: if you are looking for an increase of .5 from 6.5 to 7, and if waiting and spending 6200 is not much of an issue, do try sending for reevaluation.

There are always chances if you felt like you did a better job. Try to watch the advanced writing videos on ieltsliz.com as they helped me achieve 7.5 band in writing with very little prep.
What is your desired score?
If you are aiming for 8777 for Canada PR Express Entry, I suggest you to retake the test, as with your current scores, EOR wont help for achieving 8777.
